Survivor - Can you outlast?

You have probably heard about the show survivor. If you have not you must not watch a lot of TV. Since survivor has been on the air for 12 years, I doubt anyone who watches any TV has not heard about survivor. Survivor is one of the top most viewed reality TV shows on all of television. It is on the CBS network.

The show is about 16 people from all over the United States who come to compete for the ultimate prize of One Million Dollars. While a million dollars is not as much as it once was, it is still several years wages for the average family home. Even after taxes, a million dollars is well worth enduring a survival situation for.

Survivor is 39 days long. 16 people compete with each other to outlast each other. Only 2-3 people will make it to the final vote. Before they can make it the full 39 days, they have to compete in the challenges and beat the other contestants. Survivor is split up amongst two tribes. There are two challenges each week.

One is a reward challenge and one is an immunity challenge. The teams first compete in the reward challenge for a reward. The teams compete and one team will win and one will go back to camp with nothing. Many of the rewards are food and other needed items for making cam life better. Some of the challenges offer contestants the ability to do great things. Like a helicopter ride around the island and giving toys to kids who are poor.

The most important challenge is the immunity challenge. This helps to determine your chances of winning the million dollars. At first this challenge is about a team win. The winning team won’t have to go to tribal council and vote off a team member. Later in the game the immunity challenge is about the individual as survivor becomes an individual game.

This happens after the merge. The merging of the two tribes happens after so many people are voted off. The merge is always a tough time for the contestants but that is what the game is all about.

You will like survivor if you like watching regular people live with barely anything for 39 days. It is a great reality TV show with a lot of great moments.
